"How do you calm yourself down?" Zhuang Yijing asked Ning Youguang in return.
"Practice." Ning Youguang replied with two words.
"Fairy, forget it. I’ll put a hold on discussing mind-body-spirit issues with you for now." Zhuang Yijing said while applying lipstick and checking the ti, "It’s eight o’clock, I’d better go do sothing practical like moving bricks."
"Bye."
The two ended the video call.
Ning Youguang continued to attend her class, and Zhuang Yijing went to work.
...
That day.
Ning Youguang was casually chatting with Shi Wangyue when the topic of Zhuang Yijing being in love ca up, and a few absurd plans of hers slipped out in conversation.
In conclusion, she said, "This person is really adorably silly when it cos to love."
Shi Wangyue gave a sharp-tongued comnt, "Adorably silly, or just silly."
Ning Youguang was speechless for half a second.
Shi Wangyue complained from the other side, "Sister, you’ve been ssaging less recently."
"?" Ning Youguang was quite puzzled, "Didn’t I tell you I need to focus these days, so of course, there’d be less ti to chat leisurely."
Shi Wangyue said, "But you can’t not send ssages."
Lying gloomily on the bed in his new ho, he said, "If you don’t ssage , how will I know if you’re thinking about ?"
[Sorry, the truth is, I wasn’t thinking about you when I didn’t send you ssages.]
Of course, Ning Youguang wouldn’t say such a brutally honest thing to Shi Wangyue.
"Of course, I think about you. I think about you every day. If I don’t think about you, whom would I think about? I love you the most."
There was no choice; for family harmony, Teacher Ning occasionally had to tell a few white lies.
A trace of a smile appeared in Shi Wangyue’s eyes instantly, but stubbornly, he said, "Didn’t you used to say that when you miss soone a lot, you have to tell them? I didn’t receive a single WeChat ssage saying you miss , so you must be fooling ."
[Kids are really hard to deal with!]
Ning Youguang rubbed her forehead, "Alright, got it. I’ll tell you in the future when I miss you, okay?"
"That’s more like it." Shi Wangyue was satisfied, then seriously demanded again, "Sister, you must ssage every day. That way, I’ll feel you’re at least thinking about ."
"Okay, I understand." Ning Youguang replied more earnestly this ti.
Shi Wangyue asked again, "Is your writing going well recently?"
"Very well." The writing progress was really smooth, and Ning Youguang was very happy, "I’ve realized I’ve especially enjoyed the feeling of my fingers dancing on the keyboard lately. I’ve fallen in love with my hands and the words beneath them."
"Rejoice." Shi Wangyue laughed happily, "How do you co up with so much inspiration?"
"Many people think inspiration is sothing very mysterious." Ning Youguang said, "But I don’t think so. I think inspiration is one’s observation of the world. The more detailed the observation, the more inspiration one gets. So, whenever I feel a lack of inspiration, I like to observe the world, ditate, and observe myself in stillness. This way, a lot of interesting new ideas co up. This feeling is very magical. You should try it when you need it."
"Okay." Shi Wangyue nodded obediently.
Their interactions were always like this: mutual inquiry, mutual sharing, never absent from each other’s lives for long.
Just like Ning Youguang said to Shi Wangyue —
"As long as we keep in step, we can always stay in sync."
They are quite greedy; in this lifeti, they aim to beco not only "partners" but also "soulmates." 1314
